I'm not Hungry
Knocking
Knocking
Don't open it
Don't ask for it
Just leave me be
I'm not hungry
Listening
Listening
Toilet flushing
Heart rate rushing
Ignore the sound
I'm not hungry
Begging
Begging
Just one bite
Just one plate
What did I say?
I'm not hungry
Weighing
Weighing
Repeated words
Repeated numbers
Not today
I'm not hungry
Crying
Crying
Stomach aching
Mirror faking
It's okay
I'm not hungry
Dying
Dying
All my days
Starving ways
Until the grave
I'm not hungry
Knocking
Don't open it
Don't ask for it
Just leave me be
I'm not hungry

Fairy.. powerful ink.. we all are starving.. for something? all depends on the individual.. but our survival skills take control.. and they will deny us, pain us, all while trying to protect us.. pride is a bitter pill to swallow.. what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger.. much respect..
